water is 1/13.5 as dense as Mercury.

Therefore, since mercury maintains a height of 760 mm at sea level:


760/13.5 = 10,260 mm, or 10.26 meters

Why is the value of atmospheric pressure compared to mercury?

The common method to measure atmospheric pressure employs an inverted column submerged in a fluid to determine the level at which the column has to be raised to equalize the external atmospheric pressure and the internal column pressure. The height at which the fluid inside the column ceases to increase is correlated to atmospheric pressure. Due to mercury's high density, this level is on the order of inches (~30 inches of mercury at atmospheric pressure). If water were to be used the column would have to be ~32 feet tall in order to develop the equalized pressures between the column and atmosphere.


What height a fractional distillation column has?

The height of a column used in fractional distillation is dependent on the number of theoretical plates needed to sufficiently separate a mixture divided by the height equivalent to theoretical plate HETP. Nt=H/HETP


What is a blind level?

A blind level is a level or drainage gallery which has a vertical shaft at each end, and acts as an inverted option.


Where is a inverted level usually found?

An inverted level is typically found in environments where there is a need to monitor low pressures, such as in pneumatic systems, laboratory equipment, or industrial applications. This type of level device is designed to measure negative pressure or vacuum levels.


Pressure in a pipe draining an elevated water tank depends on the height of the tank but does it also depend on how full the tank is?

Yes, the pressure in a pipe draining an elevated water tank depends on both the height of the tank and the level of water in the tank. The pressure is directly related to the height difference between the water level and the point of discharge, and it decreases as the water level in the tank drops.


How is the water level in a commode maintained constant at any given time?

The water level in the tank is set by the ballcock, the mechanism with the float that is responsible for turning the water on and off when you flush. The water level in the bowl is set by the height of the top of the S-trap that is part of the bowl. Tank water level is adjustable, bowl water level is not.

When the volume of a liquid in a tank decreases the level is?

When the volume of a liquid in a tank decreases, the liquid level in the tank also lowers. This occurs because the amount of liquid present is reduced, resulting in a corresponding drop in the height of the liquid column. The relationship between volume and level is typically direct; as volume decreases, so does the level.


What unit would you use in the metric system to weigh a column of air?

Air is relatively light so if your column does not have a large cross section or a great height maybe grams would be a good choice. The column of air above a one square meter area at sea level that extends to the top of the atmosphere should probably use the unit kilograms.
